Turkey has long complained about US support for the SDF, among a number of irritants to ties with the leading North Atlantic Treaty Organisation power. "It's message that this irresponsible action from the Islamists in Ankara stops", said Eissa. Conflict in mainly Kurdish southeast Turkey generally escalates as spring arrives in the mountainous region.

Turkey has advised France against strengthening its military power in Syria as it would be considered an equivalent of an invasion.

Syrians in the city of Manbij, which is occupied by US -backed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists, also called for an "urgent operation" by Turkey to clear their region from terror elements.

"Those who enter into cooperation and solidarity with terror groups against Turkey ... will, like the terrorists, become a target of Turkey".

In its turn, Ankara has responded, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman saying that the country declines Macron's proposal on holding a dialogue with the Kurds via France's mediation.

Six Turkish security forces were killed yesterday after an attack by Kurdish militants in the southeastern province of Siirt in Turkey, local officials said.

"Those who go to bed with terrorists, or even host them in their palaces, will sooner or later understand the mistake they're making", Erdogan said in Ankara.
